We regret to report that we will not be supporting reception of 32APSK, MIS or VCM on the microHD platform.
After extensive testing and working with ALI and our factory engineer, we have decided to cease development for reception of 32APSK, MIS and VCM. Due to unforeseen technical limitations of a hardware component, we have experienced issues that prevent the inclusion of these advanced features in the final manufactured product. On a closed bench, we have completed successful testing. In real world transmissions, we experienced signal variables that prevented reliable reception.
We regret if the failure to support these signal types causes any inconvenience. We remain committed to further development of the microHD in many other areas to provide an excellent experience for both advanced hobbyists and FTA beginners.

So what are you trying to receive in North America ( other than 4:2:2)? There have been a few 32APSK feeds spotted, but a 32APSK feed is more rare than goldfish wearing army boots. 
I have yet to see a MIS feed and there have only been a few VCM test feeds. Much talk about signals that are extremely rare and mainly found in Europe. We are talking about receiving signals that the majority of NA uplinkers don't even own an encoder to transmit.
The only viable option that reliably logs these signals is a TBS6925 PCI-e card. Bought one and love it, but only have needed it for one feed that the Prof 7301 couldn't lock. Maybe more feeds will come along to warrant the big cash outlay, but now it is just the joy of owning the newest toy. The Euro forums have a few threads about potential STB options, but no Swissknife STB as Nolipa suggests.

Yes! I love mining these little gems out of threads. I've been wondering for months if the new fangled TBS6925 card is worth the huge price tag compared to the Prof 7301. One feed....probably not worth it if I need the cash for building the media PC in the first place
I think it's worth it for signal investigations and for processing some data feeds, but that's just me.
for the vast majority of FTA'ers, having a 6925 is bigtime overkill when you have the microhd or under $100 PC cards that do DVB-S2 modes that are commonly used for video/audio.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
